Note
When a certificate is present a Delete button appears to enable deleting the certificate.
Select the protocol to use, based on the server type that the certificate is stored on: TFTP or HTTP.
For an HTTP upload, browse for the file on your local computer or network.
For a TFTP upload, enter the Server IP address, and specify the File Name (full path without the
server IP address).
From the Update Type field on the File Download page, select one of the following:
• SSL Trusted Root Certificate PEM File: SSL Trusted Root Certificate File (PEM Encoded)—An
SSL certificate that has been digitally signed by a certificate authority.
SSL Server Certificate PEM File: SSL Server Certificate File (PEM Encoded)—An SSL certificate
•
that has been signed by another server.
SSL DH Weak Encryption Parameter PEM File or SSL DH Strong Encryption Parameter PEM File—
•
These can be downloaded from a TFTP server only. DH certificates provide the algorithms for
encrypting key exchanges and are used independent of the certificate. The weak version uses
a cipher strength of 512 bits and the strong version uses a cypher strength of 1024 bits. Browser
settings determine which DH file parameters are requested at the start of the SSL session.
